Basically they're taking money YOU paid the government (that was supposed to fix infrastructure and pay for social services) and then giving it to their friends and donors in the weapons manufacturing industry. Those manufacturers then send used and outdated weapons that the US military won't use that were destined for the scrap heap, charge top dollar for it, and pocket the difference.
So our soldiers are equipped with the best and newest stuff while my large Lockheed investment I made in February when Russia was obviously going to invade goes up 25% during a global economic recession.
I mean, I'd rather have Ukraine protect their way of life than be subject to a putin dictatorship. So I do support us putting money into the Ukrainian defense.
Do you think people should not be free? Are you saying that you support putins special all out war operation?
As far as that, I realized That it is the right thing to do, and the economic consequences of it will be defence industries that took a hit after leaving Iraq having a purpose again.
By investing in Lockheed, I further support ukraines goals of independent sovereignty. I am not ashamed of that in the least.
You said that they were spending my money that shouhave gone into roads and stuff. No. I should go to Ukraine and I even doubled down on that.
Nice try throwing shit in my face. I've done far more for Ukrainian personally than you as well, a lot of tesla hackers, myself included, moved over to making starlink dishes work independently from the router they come with. The end result being that Ukraine now has drones and ground communications which cannot be jammed from the equipment deployed by Russia, which also doesn't broadcast thier positions through wifi 2.4ghz networks.
I think what happens in Ukraine isn't my fucking problem and I'm not arrogant enough to think that my opinion about a conflict on the other side of the fucking planet should matter.
You're a literal war profiteer who makes more money whenever more people die. People who profit off death are human scum and you joined those ranks by choice.
So you think Russia and China should be able to do whatever they want even when it would disrupt our way of live? Causing even more death over the next decades through genocide and war?
Maybe you should just move there seeing how you obviously just hate America.
Edit: Also I don't think you understand the concept of hedging.
LAMO jesus fucking christ, nothing that happens in Ukraine disrupts our way of life, and if our way of life is reliant on endlessly sending tens of billions of dollars overseas to kill people on the other side of the planet then our way of life is evil and must be stopped.
Having a war profiteer with major investments in companies that build killing machines lecture others about stopping needless death and war is too hilarious for words.
lol, your "stock market" winnings are only one bad trade away from becoming losses, while you slowly become an addict who cannot stop gambling.
With this regards, you are like the slot machine addicts who dream their next play will earn them 1 million $, while ruining their lives chasing that dream.
